What TrailSplits knows

Beta training plan

Your 2-week training plan

The calendar-listed date and distance shape this generic plan. Verify the date before committing; vertical targets stay blank until course elevation is verified.

Maintenance and race-specific rehearsal

1 week and 2 days cannot replace a full build. This plan preserves existing fitness, rehearses race demands and tapers.

Proceed only if the stated recent training genuinely reflects your current preparation.

Goal time?

Use it for race-effort sessions and race day. Easy runs stay easy whatever the goal; the plan's efforts come from how you run now.

Default starting point: 35 stable km/week, longest recent outing 18 km, 4 running days/week, aiming to finish well.

No connected training history is used. Unanswered details remain conservative assumptions.

Stable recent km/weekTypical completed volume across 4–6 weeks. Longest recent outing

Your longest comfortable run lately, not a lifetime best. Recent consistencyStable load matters more than one unusually big week. GoalA performance goal needs a stronger demonstrated base. Running days availableCount days you can genuinely sustain. Experience at this distanceExperience changes how a short runway is interpreted. Current training statusThis answer is not saved. A generic plan cannot diagnose or clear a return to running.

Still being enriched: organizer date confirmation and course elevation or GPX. Future previews may use new evidence; kept copies remain unchanged.

Plan assumptions and limits

Road race: the plan is distance-driven and no vertical target is prescribed.
Short-runway maintenance mode does not raise weekly load above the stated stable starting point.
Only 1 week and 2 days are available instead of the normal 16 weeks; this is a compressed, finish-focused build.
Generic planning guidance from race facts and stated training — not medical care or individual coaching.
In 1 of the 2 weeks the running fits in fewer than your 4 days with every run at least 20 minutes, so those weeks use fewer days; the others are rest days, or easy cross-training if you like.
Training distances and durations are approximate alternatives, not pace targets. Use current effort, not a hoped-for finish time. Repeat or shorten a week if recovery is poor; do not make up missed sessions.

Starts28 September 2026

Week 1: Reduce fatigue: shorter runs at the same easy effort9.7 km; long run 9.5 km

Sat 3 OctLong run
60 min (about 9.7 km). Keep this comfortable and finish with plenty in reserve. Practise the fuel, hydration and kit you intend to use; treat amounts as rehearsal, not a universal prescription.

Week 2: Arrive rested; avoid last-minute fitness work12 km before the race

Tue 6 OctEasy run
35 min (about 5.6 km). Keep this short and conversational. The goal is freshness, not fitness.
Fri 9 OctEasy pre-race run
25 min (about 4 km). Run conversationally. If already familiar, include a few relaxed strides with full recovery; otherwise stay easy.
Sat 10 OctOptional shakeout
15 min (about 2.4 km). Rest, or jog very easily if that reliably helps you feel better.
Sun 11 OctRace day
Run the 42.2 km as planned: start controlled and use the fuelling and kit rehearsed in training. Afterwards: rest or walk for two or three days, then short easy runs only, with no hard running for about two weeks.
